Time to forward Dickson's comment on the recommendation/curriculum topic. Sorry for the delay, everyone. And thanks Tom for reminding it. And of course to Dickson for spending time reading this section.
The point Dickson felt that we need to make is:
"Migrating the Library Data to LOD is only the first stage, since there are
considerable initiative among practictioners (especialy institutions like ZBW,
Kiel) that are developing framework and technologies to enable the dataset used
for experiements reported in a 'paper' is also made availabe as LOD, also the
"modal" used by the authors to process the data. With the 'paper', "dataset"
and 'model' all represented in LOD (using appropriate vocabuary (and
formalisems), researchers arround the world can replicate the experiment
conducted by the authors of the paper, as well as utilise the dataset with
different 'models'. If this practice is adopted (which I think will take place
in the very near future, with varying degree of sophistication from domains to
domain), research rigor will excellerate, and overall assessment of research
reports outlined in the papers will be transparent, and can be validated by
piers."
